A Personal Funeral - The Celebration of a Life from Elaine Searle

A blog with news and other items concerning my work as a funeral celebrant. My aim is to create and conduct a funeral service that honours the deceased and allows the ones left behind a space to grieve and to find consolation from a service which is focussed on the life of the deceased. Elaine Searle, Civil Celebrant
